HUMBOLDT COUNTY, Calif. — Humboldt Distillery is planning to celebrate 4/20 with cocktails using their cannabis-infused vodka Humboldt’s Finest®.  Their award-winning infused vodka is available in a growing number of markets across the country including Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Mississippi, New Mexico, Texas, and Wisconsin.

The Hemp Highball is made with Humboldt’s Finest cannabis infused vodka

“Humboldt’s Finest is infused with a legal food-grade hemp, without any detectable THC, so it’s legal in all 50 states,” says Abe Stevens, founder of Humboldt Distillery. “It does, however, retain a botanical aromatic quality reminiscent of fresh cannabis that gives it a pleasant herbal character, which makes some very tasty cocktails.  One of my personal cocktail favorites is the Hemp Highball.”

The infused vodka uses a locally grown hemp, whose domestic cultivation was only recently authorized with the passage of the 2014 United States Farm Bill. Hemp is the strain of cannabis grown for food, fiber and other industrial purposes. Hemp is distinguished from marijuana in that by law its THC content must be less than 0.3%. The hemp used for the vodka infusion is from some of the first legally grown crops in the country since prohibition.

Humboldt’s Finest® has received a number of accolades within the distilled spirits industry in the last year.  It stood out among thousands of other entrants to win a Double-Gold Medal at the prestigious San Francisco World Spirits Competition, and the spirit was also awarded an exceptional 93 points in The Tasting Panel Magazine.  The magazine described it as: “On the nose, fresh greenery is far forward along with softer floral tones like jasmine and orange blossom. The brisk fennel, thyme, lime and black pepper on the palate are well integrated for a slide-across-the-tongue texture.”  Humboldt’s Finest has been growing in popularity with bartenders at bars and restaurants that lead in the creation of innovative cocktails.

Humboldt’s Finest® is 80-proof and available in 750-ml bottles, with a suggested retail price of $29.99.

FEATURED HUMBOLDT’S FINEST® COCKTAIL:
HEMP HIGHBALL
1.5 oz. Humboldt’s Finest
1.0 oz. jasmine simple syrup
.5 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 slices of cucumber

To prepare jasmine syrup, brew a strong jasmine green tea and dissolve 1 part sugar in 1 part hot tea, allow to cool. Add Humboldt’s Finest®, a slice of cucumber, lemon juice and syrup to shaker. Shake and strain into a highball glass filled with ice. Top with soda water, and garnish with slice of cucumber.

You can sit at your desk and shake your fist at all the kids out there having fun… no body will notice. Didn’t your mom teach you, if you don’t have anything nice to say….
This is a good local company trying to keep up with times. Way to go guys.. sounds like a terrible hangover to me though.

I can see your definition of having fun means being unable to have fun without crippling brain function. But then, if hating humans was such a part of that brain, it must be the only way to get past it.

Thanks Em. I wanted you to know that I have decided not to comment about the representation of Humboldt County by “Cannabis-infused-Vodka”…

Nope, leaving it alone…

Sounds like a risky move, mixing spirits (federally licensed) with cannabis (federally illegal) I hope the lawyers looked into this. I’m sure they did.
My opinion- you have to take bold moves to stay ahead in this new economy. Good luck!

If you read it, not pot. Hemp.

What exactly is the distinction between hemp and cannabis? Is hemp cannabis? Is the term “hemp” supposed to only refer to strains of cannabis sans THC, per some unwritten law? Is hemp indica, sativa or ruderalis?

Once upon a time, everyone–including the US government–thought cigarettes were healthful. In time, the worm will turn on the cannabis boondoggle and reveal it for the scam that it is.

Delusion allows not examining, which is useful if you already intend to keep on doing what you’re doing.

Never realized the date. Not too many people celebrate his birthday I guess.

I know. I am constantly amazed how every American celebrates Saint Ulrich of Augsburg being canonized every July 4.

Or would that be alternately hyper awake and comatose in rapid succession?

I was going to send you to someone else’s house… but if you really didn’t mean to go rob them, well forget it. (Yes, continuing the sarcasm.)

Where and when is the celebration taking place?

It’s due to the 420 card… although I don’t know who decided that 420 would be the marijuana card number. Or if they had intentions behind choosing it.

4:20 refers to the ‘time’ school students could meet together after school to smoke weed, actually true and funny!! they got out at 4:00pm and it took about 20 minutes to meet up. that’s why even today kids yell 4:20 at each other before school gets out.
